Antenna

[Ranger]

Anyone think this will fit a '69 RR? I think there is enough room down in the fender. (it's only $14)

Double check hole size. Plenty of room in fender

I was hoping someone remembered or had one opened up and could verify the hole size. I am about ready to order it and take the chance. Even if the hole size is wrong, I suppose I could modify it. Wouldn't be the first time.

Measured the hole in my fender came in at 1 3/8 inches in dia. This antenna will fall thru hole. Need bigger mast head

Damn, I already have it. Maybe I can use the original chrome base and make it work. Will update soon.

OK, quikbird is right. I falls through, but with a little modification and good ole Yankee ingenuity, I got it to work with the original fender bezel. I like it even better than the factory antenna because I can lower it to the fender when the car cover is on. :tickled_pink:
